Signs of a stroke nearly 1 month before it happens, don't ignore these 10 symptoms.

Every year, roughly 10 million people are affected by stroke, making it the second greatest cause of death, disability, and the requirement for long-term rehabilitation and care in industrialized countries.

But what is more surprising is that the number of strokes is expected to rise by between 60 and 80 percent by the year 2050, making it an epidemic.

In today’s video, we will delve deeper into 10 symptoms of stroke 1 month before that you need to be aware of to protect your heart from danger.

One thing to keep in mind is that before making significant alterations to your diet, you should always consult a registered dietitian.

️ Summary:
A stroke occurs when a blockage or bleed of the blood vessels either interrupts or reduces the supply of blood to the brain. When this happens, the brain does not receive enough oxygen or nutrients, and brain cells start to die.

There are two types of stroke, in general. Ischemic stroke occurs due to blocked or narrowed arteries. Treatment tends to focus on restoring an adequate flow of blood to the brain. In contrast, blood leaking into the brain may cause a hemorrhagic stroke. Treatment focuses on controlling the bleeding and reducing the pressure on the brain.

Sudden confusion or trouble understanding
Cognitive impairment before a stroke, often seen as a precursor to vascular dementia, may occur due to the gradual narrowing or blockage of arteries that supply blood to the brain, a condition known as cerebrovascular disease. Over time, this reduced blood flow may lead to brain cell damage in areas critical for memory, decision-making, and attention, manifesting as cognitive impairment.

Difficulty speaking
Difficulty speaking before a stroke, often termed dysarthria or aphasia in more severe cases, unfolds in a series of steps tied to the brain's complex network of neurons and blood vessels. The onset of ischemic attacks, commonly known as "mini-strokes," causes blood flow to the brain's language centers—usually located in the left hemisphere, including Broca's area for speech production and Wernicke's area for language comprehension—to be momentarily reduced.

Severe headache without a known cause


Before a stroke, a person may experience a severe headache due to a transient ischemic attack (TIA) or a sudden increase in blood pressure that affects the brain's blood vessels. In the case of a TIA, the temporary reduction in blood flow may cause discomfort as the brain's oxygen supply is momentarily disrupted.

Vision problems in one or both eyes
Before a stroke, a person might experience vision problems due to transient ischemic attacks, which temporarily reduce blood flow to the areas of the brain responsible for visual processing. This reduction in blood flow may lead to symptoms such as blurred vision, double vision, or even temporary vision loss in one or both eyes. The visual disturbances occur because the occipital lobe, the part of the brain located at the back of the head that is crucial for interpreting visual information, isn't receiving enough oxygen-rich blood.

Trouble walking or loss of balance
Difficulty walking before a stroke often signals a transient ischemic attack, where a temporary lapse in blood flow to parts of the brain affects its motor control functions. Specifically, regions like the cerebellum, which oversees balance and coordination, and the motor cortex, which directs voluntary muscle movements, may be affected during a TIA.
